Walking is a year round activity. Bushwalkers of Western Australia Inc (BOWA) based in Perth has a complete annual programme. In Winter (May to October) longer walks of up to 20km in length are undertaken. These require a full day and most of the information about walking presented here applies to these walks. From time to time the Winter programme will include, for variety, a shorter half day walk. In Summer members maintain fitness by shorter walks around the Perth environs which are completed before midday. On almost every Sunday of the year it is possible to sample the experience of walking with our club. How do I get started?
This walk takes in the southern portion of the park. Distance is approximately 13kms; this might vary slightly depending on what shortcuts the weather allows us to take. If the weather is really unpleasant the walk can be shortened.
the walk is mostly flat. About half is on bitumen/limestone tracks, the rest on grass/sand. We'll see some historical sites and a few Roos.
there is one sheltered place to stop for morning tea. Walk should be finished by approximately 1pm
